Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mobile electronic devices face challenges with extended data backup times and labor inefficiencies due to the inability of regular storage devices to analyze and identify data, leading to redundant backups and wasted time.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent storage device signal transmission method that uses a built-in identification system to recognize electronic devices via numeric codes (VID/PID) and enables USB communication protocols (MUX or AOA) for efficient data packet transmission, allowing the intelligent storage module to define data packet formats and manage data storage effectively, thereby streamlining the backup process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If regular large-capacity mobile data storage devices are used for backing up data, then data storage capacity is improved, but data backup time is extended and labor efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage capacityVSAvoiddata backup time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The intelligent storage module performs preliminary identification and analysis of data before the backup process begins. The identification system pre-scanes the data source to categorize files, detect duplicates, and prepare a backup plan, so that during the actual backup only necessary data is transferred, significantly reducing backup time while maintaining large storage capacity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intelligent storage module as an intermediary between the mobile electronic device and the data source. This module contains an identification system that analyzes data characteristics, file types, and duplication status, then intelligently manages the backup process by selecting which data to backup and how to optimize transmission, thereby reducing overall backup time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If regular large-capacity mobile data storage devices are used for backing up data, then data storage capacity is improved, but labor efficiency deteriorates due to inability to analyze and identify data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage capacityVSAvoidlabor efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The intelligent storage module performs self-service by automatically analyzing, identifying, and categorizing data without human intervention. The identification system autonomously detects file types, identifies duplicates, and manages backup operations, eliminating the need for users to manually sort or manage data, thereby significantly improving labor efficiency while providing large storage capacity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The intelligent storage module acts as an intermediary that bridges the gap between simple storage devices and complex data management requirements. It provides automated data analysis and identification capabilities that regular storage devices lack, freeing users from manual data management tasks while maintaining large storage capacity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If conventional storage devices are used, then device simplicity is maintained, but data identification and analysis capabilities are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice simplicityVSAvoiddata identification capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the functions of a regular storage device with an intelligent identification system into a single integrated module. The identification system is embedded within the storage module, combining simple storage capabilities with advanced data analysis features, allowing the device to both store large amounts of data and intelligently identify/analyze it without requiring separate complex systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
